Storage mechanism for Two Wheelers - Tyre/s - Bikes
----------------------------------------------------
There are Two Wheelers, Three Wheelers and Four Wheelers running on the Road.
What i observe in Two Wheelers i.e Bikes is there is no storage mechanism
for keeping extra Tyre/s which can be useful to the Driver in case there
is a tyre puncture while travelling on the road.
In Two wheelers Scooters, the tyre has a smaller circle radius,the extra Tyre
in a Scooter is fixed behind the rear tyre seat.
In three Wheelers Auto rickshaws the extra tyre is kept near engine placement
i.e rear/back door
In four Wheelers viz cars, jeeps the extra tyre and fixing tools can be kept in the storage mechanism i.e rear door.
In four Wheelers heavy vehicles viz Buses, Trucks, Lorries etc the extra tyre can be kept down below fixed.
Is there any way to Keep a Storage mechanism for Bikes two wheelers ?. What could be the design for the same
if it is to be achieved ? can we keep the tyre below the seat where the driver is seating ?
Note : Observed that the tyres for each of the two, three and four wheeler vehicles is a circle and has a Different Radius
and circumference.

ANSWER: Hi Prashant!....Thank you for your question...Unfortunaletly, I don't know how much help I can give you.......This is what I can offer.....Here in Canada, cyclists often carry a tire and tube repair kit. It will include tire and tube patches, glue, and a tire pump...As far as the rim goes, ( storage ), not sure about that.....What I can do, is to send your question to the " Question Pool "...It will ask all of the Autobody techs the same question.........Hopefully, someone will be able to help you out....If there is any Autobody related questions you have, please do not hesitate to wite back......Thanks again.......Dave

Motorcycle Tool Kit
QUESTION: Dear Dave
Thank you.
The Spare Tyre, Jacks, Fixing Tools have to have a necessary storage
area mechanism while designing the Motorcycle.
Suppose you had been a Motorcycle/Bike Designer, where you could have kept the Spare Tyre, Jacks and other fixing tools ? i.e Storage Area.

AnswerHi again Prashant!....Most motorcycle manufacturers will include a basic tool kit with their bikes...It is usually installed underneath the drivers seat...It usually includes basic tools for tire repair, changing spark plugs, tune ups, etc....Another option, is to buy a set of saddle bags. That way, you can have a lot more storage for more tools and spare parts...In the past, I have owned a Honda V65 Magna, and also a Harley Davidson 883 Sportster....That is also what I have done....Hope this helps....Take care.... Dave
